In this sense, entrepreneurship and innovation is the dependent variable and the pbkp_redictive variables are social and territorial relevance as well as pioneering intercultural entrepreneurship from the dialogue of knowledge. It has been working on 70 entrepreneurship projects at the level of business models, in Business Engineering Major at Universidad Católica de Cuenca branch Azogues. The indicators of the minimum acceptable rate of return, current net value and internal rate of return in most of the ranges are favorable to the economic and financial feasibility of the enterprises.
